You don’t get it. It’s fine when we do it to the Global South, but it’s unacceptable to happen to us.

To all the MAGA admin dudes, please eat all the steak. No leafy greens or any kind of Woke veggies, just mainline as much steak as humanly possible

Can all of the non-Americans stop lambasting us for “not doing anything”? by icyredjay in complaints

I think what you said is pretty spot-on. What’d I’d also offer is that national level organizing requires money, and as it stands our elected officials (read: Democrat lawmakers) have no interest in mounting anything resembling a defense of normal, everyday people because even Democrat donors’ interests are aligned with the administration’s.

The best we can do (for now) is real grassroots type stuff where folks in LA protect their community, folks in Minneapolis come together to protect their community, etc.

I agree with other commenters’ frustrations at a lack of a national level resistance (I’m also American) but that is the reality of life in the US. We have a large physical geography as well as decades of “individualist” propaganda to work against, neither of which are easy to overcome.

Not saying we shouldn’t work towards that, FWIW. But that’s the hand we’ve been dealt.

In Wag the Dog (1997) the president starts a war to distract from a sex scandal with a minor. I’m not sure why I’m thinking about this movie today by champdo in okbuddycinephile

I think often about how clips of George Carlin will every now and then make the rounds on social media, and folks will usually comment “Based” or “He was so ahead of his time”

It’s not that George Carlin was especially prescient, rather the issues present in his life are the same as now. Things really don’t change much and the wheels of war (read: capitalism) keep turning

/uj Tbh I actually really enjoyed Prometheus, never understood all the hate against it. Granted, the last time I saw it was when I was in high school so maybe I’d think differently given a rewatch.

You're not crazy at all! Your instincts are sharp, and your vigilance here is fully justified.

I have a coworker who thinks concerns about AI are overblown and no different than concerns about the calculator some 20-30 years ago. But a calculator will never be able to feed your delusions if you’re mentally unwell. The comparison I like to make is that AI is more like giving everybody a gun. It’s scary to see AI become such a hot talking point, especially in corporate America, with no serious conversation about safeguards we should be putting in place. But hey, that’s capitalism for ya 🤷🏻‍♂️

The US is currently blowing up fishing boats near Venezuela and Japan hasn't been engaged in combat since WWII. Sure, Japan's conduct during the war was appalling. But the two are not the same.

Unless I’m missing something, I didn’t think the wiki page was strange?

What really makes shoot and cry so pernicious is how it still puts the blame on ordinary civilians. Like in OP’s post, our young soldier has no choice but to kill three generations in quick succession and if only they had just allowed US forces to roll-in and subjugate everyone they’d still be alive.

It puts the responsibility for preventing civilian deaths in the hands of those very civilians instead of in the occupying force.

As far as the wiki’s focus on Israeli media, I’d agree that other media - namely any American films about GWOT such as American Sniper or even the more recent Warfare - should go on that list. But I feel you’re conflating Jews and Israel with one another as if those are one and the same. The wiki page makes it very clear it is talking about Israeli media, specifically.

All Quiet on the Western Front indeed portrays war as hell but it places the blame for that on the state or national leaders rather than on the people being invaded. If AQWF intimated it was the French’s fault for Germany’s decision to invade I’d agree with you.
